1952-59 Ford Borgenson box with aftermarket steering column

Anyone using this setup?

 

I have the exact same question, what length column do i need for a 55?

 

I'm running a 28" GM style tilt column on my '54 with a Borgeson box, I used a 2" column drop and that set the column almost perfectly in-line with the input shaft on the box. I'm running a CPP 11/16-36 X 1DD u-joint, between the box and column.

This is the only pic I have really showing the column...

 

Thanks. I was really thinking of a column shifted column but have since learned that is out of the question. I will probably do the same as you. Thanks for your response.

 

Ive been waiting for this info for long time, thank you echo, place it in sticky?

 

This may be a dumb question, but what model Borgenson steering box are folks using? Specifically, I have a '56 2-door coupe that could stand an upgrade. Additionally, what other parts are needed to install the box?

Thanks.

 

Borgeson makes a unit specifically for the 52-56. Others use a Jeep box with an adapter plate.

Do they only have a power steering box or is there a manual version? I wouldn't mind doing this after I put the T5 in but I prefer manual steering.

 

Only power steering that I know of. Manual steering is not an upgrade. lol

 

LOL. No its not but it would be on my car.

 

Thanks for the information. However, my preference is to keep it manual steering as well.
